How Taking a Daily Probiotic Nurtures Your Baby’s Healthy Digestion
There are many things that can throw off the bacterial balance in your baby’s developing gastrointestinal microbiome. Scientists now understand that the microbiotas of vaginally delivered babies are different from those of babies delivered by C-section. Whether baby is breast-fed or formula-fed appears to make a difference as well. Even things like older siblings, pets, environment, diet and certain medications can influence baby’s microbiota. An imbalance in the gut microbiota can lead to occasional digestive upset and impact overall wellness.
It’s also important to establish your baby’s healthy gastrointestinal microbiome early on. The microbes that live in baby’s gut actually help to train their immune system during the first six months of life. This period of time is considered the critical window of development by doctors and scientists because frequent exposure to microbes, like bacteria, is essential for a lifetime of good health.
Culturelle® Baby Grow + Thrive Probiotic & Vitamin D Drops balance your little one’s digestive tract naturally with the power of good bacteria to support their overall health.* And, because probiotics are most effective when taken every day to keep restocking good bacteria in your baby’s microbiome, be sure to make Culturelle® probiotics part of your baby’s daily routine. So your baby’s digestive tract stays balanced and healthy.*

Frequently Asked Questions
Gut health is an important factor for immune development and overall health throughout life. The development of a healthy gut begins with baby’s exposure to the right microbes at the right time. This exposure occurs during fetal development and birth and continues over the first two years of life. Several factors help expose your baby to the right microbes at the right time, including a healthy pregnancy, mode of delivery (vaginal vs. c-section), manner of feeding (breast vs. bottle) and medications. Probiotics have also been shown to contribute to the developing microbiota during this critical time.*

Culturelle® Baby Grow + Thrive Drops are formulated for babies 0-12 months. Grow + Thrive Packets are designed for babies 12-24 months as they begin to explore new foods and environments.
The cloudiness is a result of our patent-pending emulsion technology, which keeps the probiotic in Culturelle® Baby drops uniformly suspended for a consistent amount of probiotic in each serving.
Washing the dropper could introduce moisture and other contaminants into the bottle which could compromise the quality of the product.
Culturelle® Baby products provide a one-month’s supply of daily probiotic for your baby. Please discard the product six weeks after opening. Repeated opening and closing of the bottle exposes the probiotic to factors that compromise the quality of the product over time.
Yes, Culturelle® Baby drops are convenient for breastfeeding moms. Culturelle® Grow + Thrive is formulated with 10 mcg Vitamin D (400 IU), which is important for breastfed babies. Culturelle® Baby products can be dispensed directly into baby’s mouth, bottle or while breastfeeding.
Exclusively formula-fed infants consuming less than a liter of infant formula per day are likely not consuming the recommended daily intake, 400 IU(10 mcg), of vitamin D each day. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants, including those who are not consuming a liter of infant formula a day, supplement with 400 IU (10mcg) of vitamin D. Culturelle® Baby Grow + Thrive products are formulated with 10 mcg of Vitamin D (equivalent to 400 IU). Your pediatrician or healthcare professional is the best source to help you determine how much Vitamin D is appropriate for your baby.
